Are you ready to knit a pretty summer shell? My la

Are you ready to knit a pretty summer shell? My latest custom-fit sweater design class is starting this Sunday, May 31, from 1:30-3:30 pm EDT, with additional sessions on June 7 and July 5 and 19. All sessions will be run via Zoom (which means you don’t have to be local to me!), which I am happy to talk with you about ahead of time if you’re the least bit nervous about it. Sign-up is through @wovenartshop at (517) 203-4467, and the perfect yarn for the shell (Lang Lino) is available there now (see the second photo of a swatch in that perfect yarn; the model in the first photo is knit from a yarn that is no longer available, sadly). See the shop’s class page for class details (see link in comments), and let me know if you have any questions! #sarahpeasleyhandknitter #wovenartshop

Remember the striped v-neck cardigan I was working

Remember the striped v-neck cardigan I was working on along with my Sweater Design students? I found the PERFECT buttons for it in my button stash, but they’re wider than the border I was using. No problem! I’m going to cut off the initial 1/2” garter-stitch border and reknit a wider version in the opposite direction. Wanna watch? I know today is Memorial Day and you might have other plans, but if you RSVP to sarah@sarahpeasley.com before 4:00 pm today (Monday, May 25). I’ll send you a link to a Zoom demo that will start at 4:30 pm and go until about 5:00 or 5:15 pm. (I’m 100% certain I’ll be whacking the edge off of another sweater at some point, so you can always catch me at it another time.) I’ll also demonstrate the k1b from Casapinka’s Breathe and Hope Shawl that has some people scratching their heads, and if there’s time I’ll start weaving in the ends of Bodie, the shop sample I’m finishing up for Woven Art. There is so much I want to show you! Join me? #sarahpeasleyhandknitter #shopgirlwa #wovenartshop

It took me a couple of tries before I got into the rhythm of Casapinka’s Breathe and Hope Shawl (it went a lot better when I paused the movie so I could pay attention to the pattern). I don’t remember ever using fingering-weight Superwash merino singles before (Madtosh Merino Light and Lady Dye Yarns), and it’s also my first time with a metal HiyaHiya circular needle. The combination is like knitting with whipped cream and baby bunnies. Or with cotton balls and rainbows. So creamy soft! #sarahpeasleyhandknitter

I am SO CLOSE to finishing Bodie (designed by Meghan Kelly), the latest shop sample I’m knitting for @wovenart. I have to do the Three-Needle Bind-Off to join the front and back, sew the side seams, and then pick up for the armbands. Anyone want to watch? If anyone is interested, I’ll throw a quick half-hour-ish Zoom finishing party at 4:30 EDT this afternoon (Wednesday, May 20) and demonstrate all 3 of those things. Send your email address to me at sarah@sarahpeasley.com by 4 pm and I’ll send you a link to the Zoom thingy that starts at 4:30. Hope to see you this afternoon! #sarahpeasleyhandknitter

Been wondering how a Zoom class works? You click on an emailed link and BOOM...you’re in a Zoom class (yes, it’s that easy). Here’s what you’ll see: the first photo here shows “Gallery View,” where instructor, students, and the live demo are all in equal-sized windows (think: Brady Bunch, but with knitting). The second photo shows “Speaker View,” where whoever makes the most noise pops into the big window and everyone else is lined up in the tiny windows along the top, OR we can make the demo window be the big window for as long as we need it. It’s magic, and it’s that simple. This is how I’ll be teaching for the foreseeable future, for both group classes and private sessions. I’ve got 2 group classes coming up Zoom-style through Woven Art (link in comments), or you can schedule a private session with me any time. An added bonus? You can be located anywhere in the world to take any of these classes. Ain’t technology grand? Please don’t hesitate to let me know if you have any questions! #sarahpeasleyhandknitter
